This is probably my last time in our Tokyo office since I'll be changing roles soon. Most of them are kinda weirded out that I like to take pictures with everyone and everything. Hello. Filipino kaya ako. Camwhore by nature. *LOL*

I like Murakami-san. In my last night, he treated us all to dinner at a shabu-shabu restaurant in Aoyama. Sosyal. Then we went to a videoke bar. Free flowing beer courtesy of Hikasa-san! They were shocked when I sang Doushite Kimi... by Tohoshinki. Japanese na Japanese! But I think we enjoyed ourselves more when we sang Sekai... by SMAP with matching choreography! Hmph. Mga closeted na boyband fans! *LOL*

Also, they asked me to name the two ceramic dogs in our pantry:

BIG MISTAKE. *LOL*
I just named them Blackie and Brownie. Hahaha. Buti nga hindi dog#1 and dog#2.

Without acknowledging the things that hurt you deeply, you just kept on laughing and smiling
I'll always remember and cherish that
And I'll keep yelling out to the world, even if the words I use are but ordinary

The nights touched by you...
It's enough to break me; your fragrance hanging in the air and these feelings that build up, baby
So that this'll never end, I'll hold your hand even tighter
So that we'll never be separated...

I'll become the wind and wrap gently around you
Right now, I want to fly to a world with you in it
Even though I want to see you so much... I miss you so much...
I'm waiting for you... I'm waiting for you

That's the usual answer I give if people ask how am I doing. It's not really a complaint per se. It's my way to lessen the stress. I believe voicing it out makes a slightly positive difference. *LOL*

I don't like it when people complain that they have a heavy workload and they can't do personal stuff. I don't like it when people uses work as an excuse not to meet up with friends/loved ones.

At the end of the day, it is YOU who will decide what is more important.

I get stressed coz I take several projects at the same time. Who decided that? ME.I usually spend 18 hours in the office, most of time going home after midnight. Who chose that? ME.

Basically, what I am saying is, I have no right to complain that I'm stressed because they are all my decisions. *LOL*

On a more positive note, I have no qualms on using my vacation leaves if I have to go out of the country and watch pretty boys sing and dance on stage. I forget about work and just enjoy myself. Again, it's MY decision. I just have to face the consequences of my actions. It just sums up what are your priorities in life.

My huggable raccoon is spending the long weekend here in Manila. We promised to meet up over the weekend to watch a movie. I suddenly had the urge to ask my geeky bear to come as well so our little triad will be complete. I called up Geeky to check if he's available to travel. Upon receiving a positive response, I called up Raccoon and asked him to book a flight for Geeky.

Everything happened in a span of an hour.

When Geeky texted me and said that he's still processing what happened, one question popped in my mind.

Am I that selfish?

I didn't give Geeky enough time to think. He asked for at least 2 hours but I declined saying I need to book the flight for him asap since the travel date is on Tuesday.

It made me realize that I ask too much from friends. If they can't deliver, I am hugely disappointed and will probably be upset at them for a long time.

It's an issue that I acknowledge but I have no idea how to solve it. I can't seem to lower my expectations (though I've tried again and again). Maybe because I give it my all when it comes to everything I do and that includes friendships.

About Me

I need 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning before I can function. I travel a lot for work but also travel to attend JYJ concerts and fanmeets. On my way to becoming a minimalist.
